To risk derailing this thread, the half marathon is fucking tough. Goal was 1:44, finished 1:43:38, which I’m really happy with, but almost killed myself the last few km to do it. Heart rate averaged 181 with a 198 peak. 😅
Humidity was 85% and it was hot, so I think that got me a bit as I had a plan and basically tossed it out at the half way point. Finished 31st for men 40-49 and 183 overall. Proud of myself for fighting through it and would definitely encourage everyone to try that at least once. The running community is amazing.
